Because Motorola relied so long upon the Razr and its derivatives and was slow to develop new products in the growing market for feature-rich touchscreen and 3G phones, the Razr appeal declined, leading Motorola to eventually drop behind Samsung and LG in market share for mobile phones. However, Razr2 sales were not as good as the original V3 series, with consumers moving to competing products. The succeeding models were the V8, the V9, and the V9m. The Razr series was marketed until July 2007, when the succeeding Motorola Razr2 series was released. Over the Razr's four-year run, the V3 model sold more than 130 million units, becoming the best-selling clamshell phone in the world to date.
The success of the Razr made the division profitable again. Leading up to the release, Motorola's cell phone division sales were stagnant and losing money. However, within a year, its price was lowered and as a result, it sold over 100 million units by July 2006. It was launched in 2006.īecause of its unique appearance and thin profile, it was initially marketed as an exclusive fashion phone. The V3 model was followed soon thereafter by the improved V3i, including a collaboration with Apple Inc. The V3 was the first phone shown in the series and was introduced in December 2003 and released in the market in the third quarter of 2004. The Motorola Razr (styled RAZR, pronounced / ˈ r eɪ z ər/ like "razor" codenamed Siliqua ) is a series of mobile phones by Motorola, part of the 4LTR line. The Razr V3i was sold during the height of the popularity of the Razr series.
